Sonnenblick-Eichner Company Arranges $22 Million Loan to Refinance Doubletree by Hilton Los Angeles-Commerce

USA, Beverly Hills, California. November 29, 2022

Sonnenblick-Eichner Company announced today that it has arranged $22 million of non-recourse first mortgage financing for the leasehold interest in the Doubletree by Hilton Los Angeles-Commerce, a 201-room hotel located in the city of Commerce, approximately six miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

The five-year loan was placed with an international money-center bank at a fixed interest rate of 5.9% for the entire term. Proceeds were used to pay off a maturing CMBS loan and provided for a return of equity to the partnership.

Amenities at the hotel include a full-service restaurant and bar, and approximately 9,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. The Hotel also features an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, Fitness Center, Business Center, and up to 420 surface parking spaces.

Elliot Eichner, a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, commented, "We were successful in arranging a five-year fixed rate loan, which in this market is a preferred execution given the high short-term SOFR rate. Fixing the rate mitigates the risk of increasing interest rates, as well as eliminating the need to purchase an interest-rate cap."

Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, added: "We were able to identify a lender that spent the time to work through and understand the complexities associated with leasehold financings."

Sales & Marketing: Integrating Technology


The Sales & Marketing department is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenue by developing programs to increase occupancy and to make profitable use of its meeting and leisure facilities. Increasingly, managers are utilizing sophisticated digital technology to help them achieve those goals. Virtual Reality is being integrated into booking engines which provide potential guests the opportunity to tour a property from afar, including wedding, event and food & beverage facilities. Voice Search has also become a popular marketing tool. Using smart home devices, it's now possible for customers to book hotels entirely through voice commands. Chatbots are becoming more ubiquitous as hotels seek to refine their online customer service. Chatbots can answer common questions, push key marketing messages, increase direct bookings, and even guide customers through the booking process. Finally, hotels are already preparing for the debut of the Metaverse and planning how sales and marketing departments will fully participate. The June Hotel Business Review will focus on the sales and marketing strategies that some hotels are adopting and how they are benefiting from them.
